Presenter

Kyle Davidson

Kyle Davidson is a radar and Electronic Warfare (EW) scientist with Tactical Technologies Inc. in Ottawa, Canada where he specializes in modeling and simulation of electronic countermeasures. Prior to this he spent over 15 years in the Canadian Army as a signals officer, including a tour in Kandahar, Afghanistan. This service included five years at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) on the faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering as an Assistant Professor for radar and EW systems engineering. Kyle holds a MASc in electrical engineering from RMC and is a PhD candidate in EW systems engineering. His research interests cover a wide range of radar and EW topics including LPI signal detection, software defined transceivers, active electronically scanned arrays, and countermeasure modeling.

Countermeasures for Modern LPI Radars

Modern radar systems are employing waveforms and antenna systems that are increasingly difficult to intercept, but what exactly is Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar? Why is it important? And how can these systems be detected and attacked? This presentation attempts to answer these question with a focus on real world problems.

LPI radar systems aim to reduce the probability an EW receiver can detect a threat signal in two manners. First, by carefully managing when and where power is transmitted through its radiation and scan patterns. Second, the radar waveform aims to reduce the average power density by using high duty cycles or continuous wave signals with advanced modulation techniques that cover wide bandwidths.

These techniques can drastically reduce or even eliminate the detection range advantage of an EW receiver over a threat radar. As a result, EW detection technology must advance to keep pace with these new threats. Several methods for detecting and analyzing LPI radar signals will be discussed, and how these can be used to generate countermeasures.
